Welcome to the new look
Wave Without A Shore

Well, the jockey is embarrassed, Bodexpress clearly has an energetic takeoff out of the gate, and did his best to do his job for the day... The Derby was weird. The Preakness was weird. The weird goes on. I don't watch horse racing. I will not watch a race until I am...

And our garden pretty much looks as it did that day, when we used it for our location. The orange/fire colored azalea is twice the size it was, we have glorious blooms out of 4 tree peonies, the red hawthorn is festooning its branches in pink like a Maxfield Parrish...

And the pond is crystal clear. We now have the garden under control. The house---not so much. There are still stacks of boxes in the kitchen as high as my chin. But it's useable. One of these days Jane and I are going to declare an Organization Day and start trying to...

My fault. And it's complicated. I usually, when finished with a book, email it to my editor/publisher. But she happened to be in the middle of the Atlantic ocean when I finished, on a boat, and I was not so sure about e-mails. So I waited. And started the next book....

Doubled Jane's med, told her to come back for an MRI in a week or so, and an appointment in about 2 months. She will be the most vetted heart patient in town. Our health care in Spokane also involves a Multicare operation that is pretty smooth: computerized records...

Meanwhile Jane's had some cardiac problems, and sensibly went to a cardiologist, which turned up some irregularities. A pill seemed to solve most of it. But they ran a hospital test Thursday---which is where our time has gone, an angiogram, which she reports as not...

THought we'd skip the pub, where alcohol can be involved, it being only lunch, and ate at an old favorites. They changed everything: mine turned out to be chicken with cabbage, not a great combo, and Jane's had something wrong with it.. And then..we got home to find a...

He wants to be brushed. And I have enough fur to knit another cat. The koi have all survived, even Jane's late-season pity-buy of a little black shadow that you couldn't see except by movement. He's grown during the winter (without eating: go figure) and is still shy,...

We're getting a proper door on the food pantry (as opposed to the equipment pantry) and we have fairly well finished the finished half of the basement's makeover----the library has shelves, and the craftroom has, well, a lot of boxes it's holding for the OTHER side of...

I've looked hither and yon for the comment tag amidst the comments. I can 'reply'but not comment. Anyway, we are on the very last stages of the library re-do, and we shall very soon be hauling in shelves and books. It's looking like part of the house, rather than a...

A bug in the software is preventing my getting them to turn off and on at the right hour. Right now they come on in midafternoon and run through 3 am. But I have a call in to the manufacturer. and aquarium equipment is one of those things where you do get right to...

Not a bad zoo, but multiple snowfalls, physical therapy which leaves me quite bushed, taxes, and the big marine tank is having a snit, having just gone through blackouts and 2 years of house remodel---my equipment just finally bit the big one. The circulation pump...
